Molecular Genetics of Left Ventricular Dysfunction
Current Molecular Medicine, 2001The left ventricle (LV) plays a central role in the maintenance of health of children and adults due to its role as the major pump of the heart. In cases of LV dysfunction, a significant percentage of affected individuals develop signs and symptoms of congestive heart failure (CHF), leading to the need for therapeutic intervention.

Treatment of asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction
Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2008Patients with abnormalities of left ventricular (LV) systolic or diastolic function may have no symptoms, especially in the early stages. These patients are not uncommon in the community, and the prevalence of this condition increases in the presence of risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension, and coronary artery disease. Patients with asymptomatic

Left Ventricular Hypertrophy and Diastolic Dysfunction
Hospital Practice, 1992The hypertrophied heart generally preserves systolic function, but it pays a price in diastolic dysfunction. Coronary reserve is impaired and susceptibility to myocardial ischemia increased. The pathophysiology is managed by addressing causes of pressure overload, preventing tachycardia, or, of course, by specific strategies to reduce or eliminate ...

Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction
2018Abstract In Chapter 7, the echocardiographic assessment of diastolic LV function is outlined. In the first part of the chapter, the normal physiology of diastole is summarized and the disease processes that lead to diastolic dysfunction are described.

Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in hypertension
Current Opinion in Cardiology, 1994Abnormalities of left ventricular diastolic function in hypertension are multifactorial in origin. Of importance is the demonstration that abnormalities of left ventricular filling in hypertension may be accompanied by deleterious cardiovascular neurodynamic regulations.

Calcium antagonists and left ventricular dysfunction
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1995Calcium antagonists are used in the management of a variety of cardiovascular disorders. Ischemia leads to left ventricular dysfunction, which is the clinical entity on which the calcium antagonists are expected to have their effect as a result of their anti-ischemic action.

Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction
Abstract This chapter discusses echocardiographic techniques used in the assessment of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. It begins by discussing the normal physiology of diastole, as well as the conditions that lead to dysfunction. The chapter continues with echocardiographic assessment of diastolic dysfunction using 2D imaging,openaire +1 more source
